Fujian Southeast Marks Steel-Cutting for New 60m ERRV

Fujian Southeast Shipyard today held the steel-cutting ceremony for Vroon’s newbuilding emergency response and rescue vessel, DN60M-4.

This ERRV-FSV is the last in a series of four 60-metre ERRVs currently on order at Fujian Southeast Shipyard in China.

The vessel is due to be delivered to Vroon Offshore Services next year.

Fujian Southeast Shipyard, established in 1956, has developed into the absolute leading player for the construction of mid-sized anchor handling tug supply vessel and platform supply vessel in China. And different from other Chinese shipyards who are forced into the offshore support vessel construction due to the depressed dry & wet market outlook, Southeast Shipyard is an established player for such OSV construction and has a proven track record over the years.

Vroon, founded in 1890, is a diversified international shipping company. Today the company operates worldwide and has a fleet of around 160 vessels transporting livestock, dry cargo, containers, automobiles, and clean and dirty oil products, as well as a large fleet of offshore-support vessels.
